What happened to Ericsson? I miss him, and I heard he got the device.

I'm slowly but surely proving that one wrong. I do require assistance though. Only so much I can do... and then from there, only so much I can have on my plate. I'd rather get folks in contact with the right people that have the stock and will ship to them directly without me in the middle. Just seems more trustworthy that way.
Thanks.

I'm now trying to get the price down some more and work out a shipment deal - like they could use my FedEx account perhaps and just drop it.
Not sure what you're getting at, I know the Nokia stores won't do a damn thing to help us - look at the people from Nokia that actually took a second to answer something here. They cannot help, or perhaps will not.... but it's a given that Nokia won't do a damn thing to help us out.
And so I have to be a bit more creative, hit around the bushes in ways I'd rather not do; then make sure that the method, the cost and the retailer will follow through on their word with a connection local that can walk in, raise some hell if need be.
That's the sort of connection(s) I'm looking for now. I thought it were apparent, I hope that it is now. And thank you for your efforts and information.
Trust me, each bit is helpful.

This REALLY feels like the final days of Atari and Commodore. :P

It's like we're trying to buy pieces of the late berlin wall.
Limited pieces available! An historic milestone! Not to be repeated, folks!

Dude. Just imagine if I'm underwhelmed. Or worse... I declare WP7 better.
I'm on a one-man mission to Espoo if that happens.
funny,
android seems unpolished
meego - fluid
ios - simple
wp7.5 - polished and has a "posh" feel to it. but does nothing. lol.

This thread is so bizarro. Insane disconnect with Nokia's quaterly losses report yesterday and reading this thread where people are desperately trying to find a way to buy a Nokia phone.
No wonder my that my brothers best friend, 20 years at Nokia and upper mid-level manager, is trying to get himself fired with a 100k euro severance package from Nokia despite not being listed on Elopcalypse slaughter list. You gotta be an idiot to wanna work for this corporation.

Success #2 & #3. Out of four that were dispatched from Dubai, 3 out of 4 are in the hands of the intended owners. Each of them are incredibly happy.
The last one from Dubai is meant to be in my hands by first of this coming week. Australia both have shipped, so friends #5 and #6 are waiting - problem is one of them bought a SGS II, so there might be an extra Black 16gb in my possession here shortly.
Mexico is still pending.
